Palm Angels and Vilebrequin Reimagine Beachwear with a Streetwise Edge | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
Briefly

In 2025, Palm Angels and Vilebrequin expanded their collaboration in swimwear, blending Southern California streetwear with Saint-Tropez elegance. Their new capsule includes five designs featuring traditional beachwear mixed with contemporary graffiti-inspired graphics. The collection maintains Vilebrequin's comfort-first silhouettes while incorporating Palm Angels' vibrant colors and textures. Standout designs include reimagined Hawaiian prints with chaotic paint splatters and patchwork florals, showcasing a distinct blend of leisure and rebellion.
The latest release draws heavily from the stylistic pillars of both brands, but filters them through a vibrant, street-art-inspired lens. Instead of relying solely on traditional floral motifs and tropical imagery, the collection teases out new graphic terrain.
One standout design takes the ever-familiar Hawaiian print and recasts it beneath layers of erratic paint splatters. The flowers and palm leaves are still there, but they now serve as background to more expressive, almost chaotic overpainting.
What makes this new drop distinct is its ability to exist between two sensibilities-leisure and rebellion. Vilebrequin's unmistakable comfort-first silhouettes remain intact, offering well-tailored, performance-ready swim shorts that function equally well on sand or pavement.
But it's Palm Angels' contribution-the color, the irreverence, the texture-that shifts the mood.
